Nortel Partners With Sun-Netscape informationweek.com Nortel Networks and the Sun-Netscape Alliance today announced plans to combine their products and services to develop a platform designed to help Internet service providers and application service providers offer and manage customized, packaged services. Sun-Netscape will combine its iPlanet directory and messaging, calendar, and E-mail products with Nortel Networks Preside Policy Services to create an infrastructure for address assignment, user authentication, Web application development, messaging, calendaring, scheduling, and quality-of-service management. The platform is supposed to be available by midyear, the companies say. Concerns from service providers about not being able to rapidly develop and offer customers bundled services moved the companies toward collaboration. Says Amy Millard, Sun-Netscape product marketing manager, "The directory will help service providers expand their market presence and provide more benefit to their users." -- Tischelle George Michael
